Ok so I presume I must install new drivers for my video card. I mean, this is the first time Ive had to do so. I go to play RTCW in Windwos XP here, and I get no open GL system found. I have a Voodoo 5 5500 Video card, which I know can display that. So where can I get the new 3dfx drivers? Thanks.

The native WindowsXP drivers for the 3dfx Voodoo3/4/5 don't support OpenGL.
3dfx died prior to WinXP making it's appearance so you'll have to rely upon third party drivers. luckily there are quite a few of those, and many are pretty decent.

I'd suggest Hoe's V3/4/5 drivers personally: ftp://voodoo:Download@nat.mine.nu:29/drivers/vs-wxp-hoe-beta.zip

Can you link me directly to the file I need. Its hard to find the correct one that I need for this. I guess one that allows me to do Open Gl related stuff here in Windows XP. Theres too much jibba jabba on that site, and I am confused on which file to download. WHich is the best and will work at a steady rate? Thanks.
